commit 39fec6889d15a658c3a3ebb06fd69d3584ddffd3 upstream.
Ext4 file system has default lazy inode table initialization setup once it is mounted. However, it has issue on computing the next schedule time that makes the timeout same amount in jiffies but different real time in secs if with various HZ values. Therefore, fix by measuring the current time in a more granular unit nanoseconds and make the next schedule time independent of the HZ value.

Member lr_sbi was removed from the struct ext4_li_request since kernel 5.9 so the way to access s_li_wait_mult was also changed. To adapt to the old kernel versions, adjust the upstream fix by following the old ext4_li_request strucutre.
Now queued up, thanks.
